Job Changes

Hey there! Thank you for taking our survey. We're Meytier- a jobs platform backed by a unique technology designed to offset bias in hiring. We connect candidates with opportunities at great companies around the world. In asking these questions, we're trying to better understand why people leave their jobs, what attracts them to new opportunities, and what (if any) differences there may be across age, gender, and career levels. We're hoping to learn how we can better support candidates to make job changes at each stage of their careers. All data is anonymous.
